These are our 10 most popular videos of 2018

Here's what you watched the most last year

For 2018, we put out over 150 videos covering anything and everything, from supercars to sensible crossovers; from the latest auto show debuts to classic cars. Every year, we make it our goal to bring you the widest range of videos to watch and we’ll be working just as hard in 2019, but in the meantime, here are our most-watched videos of 2018.

People seemed to really want to learn about Mazda’s new compact car, because this was not only our most popular video from the L.A. Auto Show, it was also our most popular of the year. We talked about the Mazda’s fresh styling and new powertrain after its launch just ahead of its auto show debut.

Our second most popular video of the year also came from the 2018 L.A. Auto Show. In this recap, we discussed and recapped the show’s brightest stars and biggest failures. This is an auto show staple of ours, so don’t worry — we’ll have another one coming next week from Detroit.

The RAV4 is one of Toyota’s best-sellers, so when we tested the redesigned 2019 version, it’s no surprise many of you wanted to know about the new crossover. For 2019 the RAV4 gets a new look, including a more truck-like front grille, and an improved hybrid powertrain.

Fitting for such a long vehicle, our Lincoln Navigator review was one of our longest videos this year and made it onto our top-10 list. We liked the styling and plethora of luxury features, but found the bazillion-way adjustable seats to be just plain uncomfortable.

The Honda HR-V and Nissan Qashqai are two of the hottest entrants into the burgeoning subcompact crossover segment. So, we pited them against each other. Both are FWD-based, four-cylinder crossovers with CVTs. Which would you pick?

The latest Audi R8 might no longer come with a manual transmission, but for 2020, it gains power and more track prowess. So naturally, we whipped it around a racetrack at the behest of very serious German officials.
